Real Fiero Tech

I can loan you a fuel pressure gauge and a laptop with winaldl if you like.

It takes longer than 10 minutes to remove the intake, cam carrier covers and the timing belt covers with the engine out of the car and on a stand. If you have the earlier engine add the time it takes to get the cogs and retainers off (and on again).

love it. we want tests! no unsubstantiated claims! OK fine. I'll rig a test in the near future. Similar to the rod method mentioned above if you'll accept the measurement with a non-contact pyrometer. I'll start out with one rod at 150°F and the other at 100°F and graph time vs. temp for heatsink...

any data to back this up, like a thermal conductivity test? Uh, no. It is aluminum after all and we don't have to worry about electrical conductivity. The purpose of the goo is to fill any air pockets between whatever device you have and the heat sink. Lemme see. Aluminum baseplate on the module. A...

Car's not urgent. I'll save the creativity for engine swaps

Copper sheet, a pair of snips and a couple of hole punches is creative? OK.

Aluminum (copper too I would think) anti-seize make an acceptable substitute for thermal compound when replacing an ignition module.

You could just get some copper flashing and cut your own.

I clicked the paypal link on this page: http://www.trueleo.com/fieroexhaust.htm And it opened up an SSL connection to paypal. If this is the same link you used then your info will be encrypted and you will be fine. p.s. 500 can get you a looooong ways toward an L67 swap. Headers on a BA is money pi...

Let's count the threads on .nl of all the people with glowing manifolds, and compare that in proportionality to ANY other GM model-specific forum with the same posts. Most of those are machines due to poor maintenance. Let's instead go count how many people have a car that is not a complete beater....

Those are for an automatic. Doug Chase didn't make those by the way. There is no provision for an EGR valve.

That was my point. Apples and oranges.

They look better than WCF and the Fierostore offerings.

There IS better, and they're CHEAPER TOO!!! http://www.dougchase.org/forsale/headers1_640x480.jpg I think he will get a lot of sales, because a lot of those guys are too stupid/ignorant to know. Ignorant/stupid person here. I have an ignorant and quite possibly stupid question. Where do I put the E...

Unless there's better I'll take a set.

Yeah, check the valve lash. Did that wrong on my 3.4. Is it smoking?

Leak at the air line fitting? What is the oil for? It appears that the actual pump assembly is surrounded by oil. It looks like there are plenty of places for oil to leak in. Take apart the stack and give the mating surfaces a very thin layer of locktite blue.

The Supreme Court has some wiggle room. Samuel Alito likes this:

people sitting in congress right now wanted to impeach a president for getting a blowjob.

No, they wanted to impeach for LYING about getting a blow job. Politicians hate liars.

You know this is going to the Supreme Court. I think they'll overturn.

C'mon fusion!

Nevada = 286,367 sq. km. in area
That's 286,367,000,000 sq. meters
Full sun at noon on Earth = 1200 watts sq. M
That's 343 Terawatts and change assuming 100% efficiency. For 8 hours or so per day. (unless I screwed up the math)

Must be a seal. Didn't see any support info on their website but here's an MSDS sheet in case you swallow it:
